RISE & DINE CANADA Press Release from Callawind

Bed & breakfast inns have become increasingly popular since they first appeared in North America in the early 1970s. Designed to be a cozy home away from home, B&Bs offer a delightful alternative to large, expensive and impersonal hotels, ranging in size from two to 16 rooms. B&B guests enjoy comfortable lodgings, warm ambiance, ambrosial breakfasts, brunch, or tea, all enhanced by hospitable innkeepers and other interesting guests. Aficionados will relish this expanded and updated version of RISE & DINE CANADA: Savory Secrets from Canada’s Bed & Breakfast Inns by Marcy Claman (Callawind Publications, US$16.95 / CDN$21.95, trade paper); newcomers to the concept are sure to have their appetites whetted for a B&B adventure.

RISE & DINECANADA is a bonanza for breakfast and brunch lovers. Here is a sample of the mouthwatering recipes it contains:

Blueberry-Stuffed French Toast from Les Trois Érables in Québec
Breakfast Burritos from Harbour House Bed & Breakfast Inn in Alberta
Chocolate Chip–Apple Cookies from Bread and Roses Country Inn in Nova Scotia
Gouda-Baked Eggs with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis from Lakewinds in Ontario
Mandarin Orange Coffee Cake from Park View Bed & Breakfast in New Brunswick
Rosehip Jelly from Hawkins House Bed & Breakfast in Yukon
Zucchini Pancakes from The Inn on St. Andrews in British Columbia

Some of the savory secrets shared in the book, such as Nana’s Tea Biscuits from Nova Scotia and Old-fashioned Apple Pandowdy from Alberta, have been in families for generations. Others, such as Leek and Sage Quiche from Ontario and Cinnamon Baked Pears from Québec, are new creations that tantalize inn guests day after day.

An appealing combination cookbook and travel guide, RISE & DINE CANADA features:

more than 300 recipes from 90 inns in all provinces
illustration, history, and description of each inn
seasonal availability and types of accommodations
province-by-province index of inns
guide to cost for double occupancy per night

The inns range from simple to luxurious and many are not only renowned for their fabulous food but for their architectural interest.

For some people, making these dishes will transform an ordinary meal into something special; for others, it will evoke warm memories of an enjoyable trip long past.
